Zero entropy actions of amenable groups are not dominant

Dynamical Systems 2022-06-01 v3

Abstract

A probability measure preserving action of a discrete amenable group GG is said to be dominant if it is isomorphic to a generic extension of itself. Recently, it was shown that for G=ZG = \mathbb{Z}, an action is dominant if and only if it has positive entropy and that for any GG, positive entropy implies dominance. In this paper, we show that the converse also holds for any GG, i.e. that zero entropy implies non-dominance.
